> Gil Scott-Heron is right - but also not. I was reminded of this watching First Man - and I realised that if 1960s USA had not funded a Moonshot, then would it have looked at itself and said "Hey our police force is used to keep 1/5th of our population in poverty through violence and our financial policies do the same. Let's fix that"? Well, we have 2020s America as a comparison. Whether or not you think we’ve recognized the problem, it certainly hasn’t been solved to the extent that e.g. we actually flew people to the moon and back. |
